//! Abalone dataset.
//!
//! Physical measurements of abalone (a marine snail), used to predict the age of
//! the animal. The age in years is the number of `rings` plus 1.5. Counting the
//! rings through a microscope is a slow, tedious task. The goal is to predict the
//! age from easier physical measurements instead. The `rings` column is the
//! regression target.
//!
//! **Columns (9):**

///
/// You find the age of an abalone by cutting the shell through the cone,
/// staining it, and counting the rings through a microscope. This is a boring
/// and time-consuming task. The goal is to predict the age instead, from other
/// measurements that are easier to get. The `rings` column holds the raw ring
/// count, and it is the regression target. The actual age in years is
/// `rings + 1.5`. The only categorical column is `sex` (`M`/`F`/`I`). The other
/// seven features are continuous measurements.
